So I have this annual costume party I go to for Halloween and I've started planning my costume now because I'll have to make at least parts of it. I want to create a costume that will make a point to white people about costumes that are offensive caricatures of minority stereotypes.
So I asked myself how I could make costumes that would get under the skin of white people and make them really think about how they portray minority groups with their costume choices. The first thing that came to my mind is that people love the Indian warrior costumes and mascots so I could go as a knight, but I then I figured people will just take me for some kind of geeky Dragons and Dungeons character and I tossed that idea
Then I thought about going as a Bubba or Jim Bob wearing a MAGA hat, but then people would interpret that as political and not racial and I'd get high-fives.
Then I thought going as a hippie but that's not a racial stereotype but rather a subcultural one.
So does anyone have any idea what the white equivalent would be of dressing up as a Mexican mariachi costume or a black urban gangster costume? I'm honestly at a loss, here.
Very popular I am told...
